When Facebook entered the DLT sphere
The company initially started its DLT division in late spring, when it announced that it simply wants to research the innovative technology. The leader of the team is David Marcus. Earlier, he had been the vice president of the Messenger app. Later on, in June, the company promoted one of its top developers, Evan Cheng, making him head of engineering in the blockchain department.
Reportedly, Facebook’s DLT team had created a separate company which was part of the social media giant. Apparently, its goal is to make the open ledger technology be useful to the company.
